I peel them for the LOs but I don't for myself. I don't like raw apples so I don't eat them much myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335971 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:18:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 335971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved when my mom would make something with apples that needed peeling while we were growing up. I used to fight with my brothers over who got to eat the peels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335434 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:18:19 +0000 kokobee 335434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i only peel them for LO. i always eat the skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335329 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 335329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually, not even for pies - lots of good fiber in the peels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335325 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:43:34 +0000 chopsuey 335325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Yeah I can peel in 1 piece too!<br /> I peel apples for LO since she doesn't like the texture of peels.<br /> If the apples are from my parents' trees I'll eat the peel since it's 100% pesticide free.<br /> If I buy organic, it just depends on how I'm feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335315 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:41:35 +0000 sarac 335315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't! My baby girl just eats them whole, in tiny bites. Or I'll cut them into thin slices for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335236 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:08:24 +0000 mediagirl 335236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the peel so I peel my apples. I have gotten better at peeling all in one shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335199 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:53:13 +0000 cheert16 335199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the peel!! Unless i am baking something- then i curse that apple out the whole time i am peeling it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335196 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:51:54 +0000 sunny 335196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the texture of the peel so I always peel them even though I know it's nutritious! I don't peel it in 1 peel tho. I'm much faster doing it a different way. I also slice mine into wedges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335058 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:44:26 +0000 MrsBrewer 335058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always eat the peel! Unless I'm baking an apple pie, I always leave the peel on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335051 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:39:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 335051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never peel them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335044 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:35:53 +0000 Sammyfab 335044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for recipes but I have to get my DH to do it because I am awful at peeling!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-335036 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:35:00 +0000 wheres_c 335036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat the peel too unless I need the apple for a recipe. Then I can peel it with a peeler in one piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334991 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:12:59 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 334991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, its easier not to LOL and there's no way I can peel in one peel. My mom can though, but she grew up on a farm peeling potatoes and such, so she had practice LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334987 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:11:25 +0000 mrs. bird 334987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always eat the peel! It's the best part for you. I can peel the whole thing as one piece when I need to peel it for a recipe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334983 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:09:02 +0000 mrsjyw 334983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom used to when we were growing up, so i like the texture of eating peeled apples, but i know that the peel is the most fiber and nutritious, so dh and i just slice them and eat it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334981 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:07:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 334981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yeah that's what I've heard too :) I think that's generally the case. Orange peels have more vit c than the orange itself (yech I wouldn't eat it tho!) and lemon peels as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334974 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 334974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit peels are full of nutrients!! Or so I've heard :) I've always eaten them with the peels. An I've never tried to peel in one fell swoop!</p> <p>I only peel if I'm cuttin them for ds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334968 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:04:58 +0000 yin 334968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I peel them for my LO but I'm scared of knives so I use a vegetable peeler. I eat my apples with skin on and sliced into pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334965 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:03:04 +0000 tororojo 334965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never do...too much work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334945 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:57:56 +0000 Alivoo01 334945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Isn't the skin an added nutrition? I peel my pears though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334939 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:56:01 +0000 Smurfette 334939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, too lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334937 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:55:10 +0000 Turd Ferguson 334937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I like the taste, but also, the skin is the most nutritious part of the apple--it contains a great deal of the fiber and antioxidants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334556 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 00:52:41 +0000 BSB 334556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I usually peel just for recipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334522 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:55:27 +0000 banana 334522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always peel apples. I can't stand the skin! I can peel it all off in one swoop too with a knife. It's like a personal challenge of mine everytime I peel apples and asian pears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334521 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:39:21 +0000 Freckles 334521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If i buy organic apples, i'll usually eat them unpeeled. Otherwise, i'll peel them...and i can do it in one swoop too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334520 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:37:55 +0000 mrbee 334520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom did, but I broke the family tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-apples#post-334518 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:31:26 +0000 MamaCate 334518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Unless I am using them in a recipe. I am impressed you can do it in one fell swoop! </p>
